Announcing The 2018 IoT Intelligence® Market Study Report

Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and connectivity to enable objects to collect and exchange data. This marks our fourth IoT Intelligence® market study report. In it we review interest and demand for business intelligence in an IoT world. We also examine key related technologies such as location intelligence, end user data preparation, cloud computing, advanced and predictive analytics, and big data analytics.

The 2018 Small and Mid-sized Planning Market Study Report

Our first small and mid-sized enterprise (SME) planning market study exams enterprise planning processes and software usage in small and mid-sized organizations, with an analysis of how their deployments and views differ from each other and from large organizations.
According to the study, SMEs need comparable functional capabilities to large organizations, and have similar priorities in terms of enterprise planning initiatives. However, small organizations do have some differing needs than mid-sized and large organizations, for example a greater need for cash-flow planning and a stronger preference for cloud-based solutions.

The 2018 Advanced and Predictive Analytics Market Study Report

Advanced and Predictive Analytics includes statistics, modeling, machine learning, and data mining used to analyze facts to make predictions about future or otherwise unknown events.
The fifth annual report examines changing user perceptions and plans, as well as current and future industry capabilities. The 2018 report adds coverage of advanced model management, longevity of use, and budget criteria.
